Phagentic

An autonomous bioreactor built from scratch.

Phagentic’s reaction vessel cycling between blue and colorless liquid

I built a physical bioreactor with an ESP32-driven stirrer, dosing pumps, an RGB sensor, and a 3D-printed rig. A chemistry-informed gray-box model and model predictive controller read live sensor state and actuate the hardware to sustain a reaction’s target oscillation amplitude and period. The project explores autonomous bioreactors for bacteriophage farming.

Built with: ESP32, Python, PyTorch, BLE, MPC.
